Sam Noir

Gotta love it when a company like Image drops a whole load of sneak peeks for you to check out. This week features five page previews of Bomb Queen, Dynamo 5, Phonogram, The Pirates of Coney Island, Sam Noir: Ronin Holiday, and Strongarm. All titles are expected to be in stores next week.

Image Comics has let us know that Samurai Detective will return in February with Sam Noir Ronin Holiday #1 of a three part mini-series. Here’s how Image Comics describe the issue: After love went tragically wrong, Sam decides that a tropical retreat is just the thing to take his mind off the pain. But when bloodthirsty assassins interrupt Sam’s vacation he’s forced to put down his Pina Colada and pick up his sword. With Sam on the case, those white sandy beaches are gonna run red! I like the art and story telling by Eric A. Anderson and Manny Trembley.

A mere two weeks before the second issue of its fledgling run hits the stands, Image Comics is announcing a complete sell out of Manny Trembley and Eric A. Anderson’s SAM NOIR: SAMURAI DETECTIVE #1! “Just to have SAM NOIR published through Shadowline was a milestone for me and to see the reaction we’ve gottten so far resulting in the issue selling out is honestly more than i could have imagined,” said Trembly. “I just want to say thanks to Jim and Kris for seeing the potential and giving us a shot.”
